You didn't answer the question because you didn't read/understand it properly.

The gun allows people to kill others with relative ease, you cannot argue with
"if there were no guns, nobody would get shot", and if you read all my postings
you would know that I am not an "anti-gun fanatic".

I would just like to be able to visit the Union Station food hall without fear
of getting caught in someone elses crossfire.

So, you carry a .45 ACP all the time ?

My point was that a shotgun is a perfectly good home defense weapon, but it is
difficult to carry concealed. It is therefore a weapon that I have no objection to people owning.

I'll check my latest copy of "Guns & Ammo".
